South Three Islands

The South three islands, the East Island, the Naozhou island and many other islands form the outer protective fence of Zhanjiang port. With sunshine, sand beach, sea, forest and scenic spots, the east coast is a pearl embedded in the rich South China Sea with its charming natural charm. It attracts numerous Chinese and foreign tourists and has become one of the most famous scenic spots in Zhanjiang. The dike of nansanlian Island, which was praised by master Bingxin in ten days of Zhanjiang, has been in danger after decades of wind erosion. Through the efforts of all levels, the reinforcement project has been included in the provincial urban and rural water conservancy disaster prevention and Mitigation Project - South Sanlianwei reinforcement is in sight

Many people may have read from master Bingxin's ten days in Zhanjiang not long ago that the three southern islands are actually connected by ten small islands. Before joining the island, the land on these islands was scarce and barren, and people on the island had to cross the sea at least seven times to Zhanjiang.

During the six years from 1953 to 1958, the three southern people built embankments and fences, blocked the sea and made fields, and ten small islands became a big island. Up to now, the 49.6 km dike has defended 58000 mu of cultivated land, 28000 mu of shrimp ponds, 86 villages and 78000 people, accounting for 70-80% of the whole island. At that time, the central leadership attached great importance to nansanlian island. He long, Tao Zhu and other central leaders visited nansanlian island in person and gave full recognition to nansanlian island.

Nansanlian Island dike is the lifeline of nansanlian people. With its motherly arms, it protects the lives and property of the three southern peoples.

The origin of the name

Since ancient times, it has been a pure land with rich soil and water, which makes Hou Island sentimentally attached. It was called "Luzhou island" in ancient times.

The names of the three southern islands may be derived from "the three southern islands".

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the southern three belonged to the "Southern three (capital)" of Wuchuan County, Gaozhou Prefecture. In the past, there were more than three islands here, with a total of 11 Islands (including Techeng island at that time, but the island is now under the jurisdiction of Xiashan District). In the 1950s, Zhuti connected 10 islands into one big island.

physical geography

Nansan island was originally ten scattered islands with beautiful natural environment. It used to be a good place for egrets and other large groups of seabirds to feed and inhabit, so it was also called Luzhou island in history. The three southern islands have a huge geographical advantage, which is the throat of the import and export of Zhanjiang port (Guangzhou Bay). After the founding of the people's Republic of China, ten islands were connected to form a big island. In addition, shelterbelts were built on the coastal beaches. The whole island is flat, with highway, wharf, electric power, communication and other infrastructure.

The island is rich in natural resources, mild climate, warm in winter and cool in summer.

geographical position

South three islands, located in the southernmost Prefecture of Chinese mainland, is the coastline of Southeast Zhanjiang.

The place name of the administrative district is called Nansan Town, and the town government is located in baishanwei.

It is located between 21 ° 8 ′ ~ 21 ° 141 ′ N and 110 ° 8 ′ ~ 110 ° 38 ′ e with a total area of 123.4 square kilometers.

After Taiwan Island, Hainan Island, Chongming Island (Shanghai), Zhoushan Island (Zhejiang), Pingtan Island (Fujian) and Dongdao Island (Zhanjiang), it is the seventh largest island in China, the second largest island in Zhanjiang City and the second largest island in Guangdong Province.

Geographical survey of the three southern islands

According to the records of the "Panoramic Map" of Wuchuan county annals by Guangxu of Qing Dynasty, the three southern capitals are composed of 11 small islands and part of the land, including Beiyan Island, Tiantou Island, Nanjiao Island, Fengnian Island, Diju Island, Badong Island, Wuli Island, Huangcun Island, tiaodong Island, Beiya island and Techeng island.

With the passage of time and the accumulation of quicksand, Diju island and Badong island are naturally connected. However, between tiaodong island and Beiya Island, wedelidun Island, formed by natural accretion, gradually expanded and piled up, forming a new island.

Later, Techeng island was separated from the South three islands in 1971. In order to facilitate the access of the islanders, and not completely block the Zhanjiang port channel (Guangzhou Bay channel), the island connection project was only carried out in the other 10 islands.

First, lighthouse island

It was called Beiyan island in Qing Dynasty. In 1898, after the Third Republic of France occupied Guangzhou Bay, the South Sandu of Wuchuan County, Gaolian Road, Guangdong Province, the Qing Dynasty, a lighthouse was built on shatouling, and Beiyan island became a lighthouse island. Lighthouse island is located in the eastern end of the South Sandu islands, which is the largest island in the ten islands. It is adjacent to the South China Sea in the East, Tiantou island in the west, Naozhou island and Dongdao island across Guangzhou Bay in the south, and Qiantang town across the sea in the north. It has a north-south trend and is in a belt shape, with a maximum length of 16 km from north to South and a maximum width of 4 km from east to west, covering an area of about 43 square kilometers and a coastline of 47.1 km. The soil is mostly white or yellow coastal sand. When the wind blows, the white sand is flying, and in hot summer, the quicksand is boiling hot. For external transportation, there is a ferry connecting with the mainland (Qiantang) at Gaosha bottom of Mocun village. At the mouth of Guangzhou Bay, there is Guangzhou Bay Ferry, which is connected with Naozhou and Donghai island. On the inside, from Jiaoji village of Dengta island to happy village of Tiantou Island, you can wade through the water on foot, which is the main traffic thoroughfare in the island.
